🪩 Introducing matadisco.org! — a way to discover open datasets via #atproto that doesn't depend on any single institution staying online. 🕺🏼 We have more public data than ever (satellite imagery, climate models, genomic sequences), but finding it is still painfully hard.

matadisco.orgMatadisco — Decentralized Data DiscoveryAn open, decentralized network for data discovery built on ATProto. Publish metadata, build portals, find data.

Matadisco uses ATProto to let anyone publish dataset records and build domain-specific discovery portals. Many research orgs already use IPFS to store and verify datasets reliably. Matadisco makes them findable and useful.

Want to help? We're collaborating with IIIF 3D and satellite imagery projects now, and want to chat with anyone working in open data (science or otherwise). This week @vmx.cx will be giving a talk at FOSSGIS Göttingen, and @robin.berjon.com at @atmosphereconf.org. Come find us or send a message!
